Hey Rheno,
Howzitgoin'? Glad to see you're still kickin' around Asia and even more glad to read your posts. Your posts are usually informative or insightful, if not downright humorous. So, thanks for taking the time to weave the threads of your current life into the tapestry of this forum.

As for those who have nothing better to do than to attack you without offering any real constructive criticism or guidance of their own,I can only wonder why they take the time to exercise their own negativity. Also,it's interesting to note that the "love it or leave it mentality" still exists in the 21st century. Or maybe we should call that the "all is hunky-dorry mentality." Whatever; I still have to chuckle about it - even if I'm doing so out of only one side of my mouth.

Albeit, just for fun, I've been perusing the web in search of interesting, if not necessarily applicable quotes regarding advice and opinion. Enjoy.

Many receive advice, few profit by it.
Publilius Syrus (~100 BC), Maxims

In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend.
Solon (638 BC - 559 BC)

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 - 1902), 1890

I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, why be humble about it? Joan Baez

(Last, but not least, my personal favorite:)

I have opinions of my own - strong opinions - but I don't always agree with them. George Bush

Take care Rheno. Again, it's good to know you're still alive and kicking.
